Kay, of the SS. “Aurora,” visited Carey Island for the purpose of finding traces, or tidings, of the Swedish party. On approach- ing theisland Captain‘McKay (who was in the crow’s nest) discovered a. small schoon- er lying ashore. He dcspatched search parties to the island. The schooner (a small “fore and after ”) was found partially buried in the ice. She was lying heeled notes on natural historyâ€"portions of’scien- tific books, etc.â€"were picked up, and sub- sequently brought on board the “Aurora,” and delivered to Captain McKay. The dead body of a man some 32 or 33 years of age, was found a short distance 06‘, on a stony, elevated region behind the vessel. The dead man was carefully covered over with stones, but no mark or inscription was ob- served. The etones were not removed from the body while I was present, but there were indications that the deceased was clothed. A stone was stuck up at his head by visitors from the “ Aurora.” and a red handkerchief was tied to it to .serve as a guide to subsequent visitors. In the mean- time papers had been discovered at the cairn andthese, together with the articles pre- viously mentioned as having been picked up at the vessel, were duly delivered to Cap- tain McKay in accordance with the wish ex- pressed in Mr. Bjorling’s letter addressed, “To the visitors of S.E. Carey Island, 1893.” Captain McKay steered for Clarence Head with the intention of trying to learn some- thing further regarding the fate of the party. But on the 10th of June, when within about thirty miles of Clarence Head, ice was encountered, which rendered a close approach to the land impossible, and Captain McKay, was, to his great regret, compelled to turn back. THE RECOVERED DOCUMENTS. The following notes have been copied from visiting cards hearing the name J.A. Bjorling, Fil Stud, Stockholm. These cards and a'letter were found in the cairn on Carey Island. “WHERE. THEY FOUND LHEIR ARTIC GRAVE. Written in ink: “ Visited S. E. Carey Island, 16th August, 1892. I left Godliavn on the second in this month, and sailed along the ice in Baffin Bay to the thirteetli, when I, on only one day, sailed over Mel- ville Bay to Cape York. An easterly hur- ricane near that place drove me to the west, and I was at noon near Cap Parry, from which point I sailed over to Carey Islands in order to supply me with some proviSions from the English station.” Another written in pencil :-“17-8.

If I thence should be compelled to go to another place, further notice will be laid down in cairn at Pandora Harbor. Together with-the provisions from Nares’ depot here, I hope to have food 'enough to help me and my four companions until June month, 1893.” BJORLING’S LAST MESSAGE. The following is a copy of the letter: “ To the Visitors of S. E. Cary Island, 1893. As you of my notices here, I have after the loss of my vessel tried to reach Foulken Fjord in order to winter over there ; but after reaching N orthumberland Island I must of several causes give up this voyage and return to Cary Island. - “ Compelled by bad weather to be a longer time on this island. I start now for the Eskimo at Clarence Head or Cap Fara- day on Ellesmere Land. As I hope that a Whaler will visit Cary Islands next summer in order to rescue me and my party, I will attempt to reach this island before the 1st of July. Should none be here to the 15th of July. I must if possible, go to the Danish settlements, therefore,if you visited this island later than 1st of July, and found no notice from me concerning my voyage to the Danish settlements I should be very much obliged if you would go to Clarence Head (fifty miles herefrom), where I, in .a cairn on the most eastern point, shall leave a notice concerning my and my party’s fates during the winter. At last I will beg you to send all notices from me to Professor Baron A. E. Norden- skield, Stockholm, Sweden,or to the nearest Swedish consul, with statement of time and place where they were found.

Some manuscript 0 (3°11er mammoth “mks: they could 1” states in an interview that old Yakutsks told him that from the highest parts of the northern shores of the New Siberian islands, fine weather distinctly discern a lofty land to the northwest. The distance is estimat- ed by the Norwegian skipper, from the statements of these natives, at about fifteen nautical miles. From this lofty land, too, Johannessen hailed a large iceberg, which in 1878 was seen ashore east of Cape Tstjel- juskin, a berg which could not have had its origin from any part of the coast between the northernmost cape of Asia and Behring strait, nor could it have come from the low New Siberian islands. Johannessen was surprised that there were currents which could have carried the here. south, but this was also almost the only real ice-berg seen along the coast of north Asia in 1878. Should, therefore, Nansen, he cons1dcrs,not steer too close to the coast, it is probable that he might discern this lofty, unknown land from the masthead if the weather was clear. at all favourable there can be no doubt but that he would attempt to reach it this year and take up his Winter quarters at this unnamed polar terra nova. Whiz ofa Rifle Ball. The rapidity with which the difi'erent zebras have been exterminated, owing to the advance of civilization in South Africa, is shown by reference to such works as that of Sir Cornwallis Harris, written in 1840, in which the author tells us that the quagga was at the time found in “interminable herds,” bands of many hundreds being fre- quently seen, while he describes Burchell’s zebra as congregating in herds of eighty or one hundred, and abounding to a great ex- tent; but now, after the expiration of but fifty years, the one species is extinct or prac- tically so, while the other has been driven much farther afield and its numbers are yearly being reduced. This author’s description of the common Zebra is well worth repeating. He says : “ Seeking the wildest and most sequestered spots, haughty troops are exceedingly diffi- cult to approach, as well on account of their extreme agility and fleetness of foot as from the abrupt and inaccessible nature of their highland abode. “ Under the special charge of a sentinel, FLEET-1‘0 OTL‘D ZEBRAS. Their Dash of Speetfihen Alarmed by the so posted on some adjacent crag as to com- mand a View of every avenue of approach, the checkered herd whom ‘ painted skins adorn ’ is to be viewed perambulating some rocky ledge, on which the rifle ball alone can reach them. _ “No sooner has the note of alarm been sounded by the Vidette than, pricking their long ears, the whole flock hurry forward to ascertain the nature of the approaching dan- ger, and, having gazed a moment at the advancing hunter, whisking their brindlcd tails aloft,helter-skclter away they thunder, down craggy precipices and over yawning ravines, where no less agile food could dare to follow them.” Of Burcliell’s zebra he says: “ Fierce, strong, fleet, and surpassineg beautiful, there is perhaps no quadruped in the cre- ation, not even excepting the mountain zebra, more splendidly attired or presenting ,a picture of more singularly attractive beauty.” Zebras are by no means amiable animals, and though many of the stories told of their ferocity arc doubtless much exaggerated, they have so far not proved themselves amenable to domestication.

THE bsADLY roman G-BED. \Vithin the past few weeks the folding- bed has achieved a most unpleasant notori- ety, and the catalogue of accidents due to its irrepressible internal contortions seems almost to justify the suspicion that a carni- val of folding-bed calamities has set'iu. Either by reason of an outbreak of the in- nate depravity of this mechanical mahogany hybrid itself, or because the aesthetic daimon wishes to teach us to go back to the decent and invertebrate bedstead, we appear to be at the mercy of an automatic impulse toward the wardrobe state which threatens those who confide themselves to the treach- erous engine with suffocation, if not con- cussion of the spine, whereas nightmare was really the worst that was to have been anticipated. There is something peculiarly shockin in such behavior on the part of a bed. Bed has been the friend of man since time immeo morial, and not only does it speak to us of rest,sleep,freedom from care,and the peace ful homc,but it is most untimely connected with the great drama of birth, life, and death. The very differentiation of Civilized kill him is an atrocious turning of the slats. A man might as well die with his boots on as be telescoped in a folding-bed collisionâ€"â€" the fact that he is in his night-gown is no consolation to those who might separate lils outraged remains from the spring mattress. It is this iniquity in the folding-bed ac- cident that encourages the surmise of a lat- ent deviltry in the machine. The addition of the principle of the lever to a piece of furniture which our ancestors rightly con- structed on simple, enduring, and reposeful linesâ€"to which they gave the stern solidity of a night’s slumber and the airy height of a fair lady’s dreamsâ€"might have been exâ€" pected to develop in it a taste for impish nocturnal saltations. The mediceval bed, with its massive columns and spreading canopies, was built to be proof against witchcraft. But this modern bed, with its stomach-\full of springs and chains, would have been banned by the Church in older days, and no one would have looked to be safe in it at midnight even had it been rivet- ed to the floor. The worst thing that can be said against the folding-bed, however, is that it is in bad taste. It is not wholly a modern in- vention, to be sure, as it had its predeces- sor in the famous “bed by night and chest of drawers by day.” And in so far as it is designed to economize space it is pardon- ablc. But, like so many another invention of cure, it cannot rest satisfied with being a convenience, but must try to pass it off by a. cheap assumption of being something else. The-folding bed chooses to assume to be a wardrobe, and people whose ideas are not nice believe it to be a very refined thing to keep such a vulgar thing as a bed out of eight during the day. Just how much more prudish a wardrobe is than a bed it is diffi- cult to say. Perhaps M. Max O’Rell might calculate the degree. But it is a curious fact that wherever you find a folding-bed you almost always find the corners of the room unswept, so perhaps the recent car- nival of calamities is inthenature of a judg- ment.-â€"-[Harper’s Weekly. ‘ - â€"â€"â€"â€"oâ€"-â€"-â€"â€"â€"- The Corsican Clan- The Corsican loves not work, neither is he greedy for gold; but he is ambitious, an eager politician, keenly desirous of place and power, of anything, in short, that may set him above his fellow-men. The word “ politician,” however, must be understood in a local sense. The questions that agitate the Continent have small concern for him ; his politics begin and end with the triumph or aggrandizment of his clan. The chief of a clan has no sinecure. He is expected on all occasions to exert himself for the inter- ests of his clients. If an adherent Wishes for a post, it is the duty of the chief to obtain it for him ; if he has incurred some fine or penalty, the chief must use his influence to getitremittcd. His clients, in return (as to public matters) will obey his lead implicitly. He may be a republican today, he may turn monarchist to-morrow, but it will make no difference in their allegiance, nor will he lose a single follower thereby; it is an understood thing that what he has done he has done for the good of the clan, and as in former times they would have followod him to the battle, so they will follow him to the ballot-box to day. This spirit of “ clan ” first took its rise during centuries of abominable misgovern- ment. Under the infamous rule of the Genoese, justice was not administered, it it was sold. For an isolated individual there was no security either for life or pro- perty ; he had no chance in the battle of life save by allying himself to some power- ful family that could make his interests respected.
